This event has many distances and can be run individually or in relay teams of 2 or 3 members, making it very accessible to athletes of all levels, families, colleagues and friends.

“The running course will allow competitors to enjoy beautiful views of Brides-les-Bains, but also of the surrounding mountains such as the Grand Bec. As for the cycling loop, we know it well, as it is used by the competitors of our cyclosportive “Col de la Loze by Brides-les-Bains” with the main difficulty being the climb to Les Frasses. In addition to the 7 km climb, the participants will be able to admire the beautiful landscapes of the Tarentaise valley and cross some beautiful villages like Montagny and Bozel. We are looking forward to welcoming this duathlon and all their organization team!”  Mr. Dominique Lesourd, Bridois city councilor and elected official referent of this duathlon.

The combination of running and cycling, which are two of the most practiced individual disciplines in France, is the assurance that in one way or another you will have fun participating in the second event of the Duathlon Ducs et Duchesses – Série et Ligue in Brides-les-Bains on September 19, 2021.
